Re: [igraph] About the cannoical place for igraph

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi Pierre,

my understanding was that you want the C library and the Python
extension, not the R package. So you want the R package (as well)?

0.6.5 is the latest version for the C lib and the Python extension
0.6.6 is the latest version for the R package, compared to 0.6.6 it
contains some bug fixes only, see
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/igraph/NEWS
It was never announced officially on the igraph homepage, because it
is not a big deal.

I am not sure which file you are trying to compile. For the R package you need

R CMD INSTALL <tarball>

but of course it is better to install it as install.packages("igraph") form R.

The C lib has the usual autoconf procedure:
./configure
make
make install

The python package installs the Python way:
python setup.py install
